daring and provocative work! You can see it onYouTube. On November 5, he had announced viaInstagramthat Johnny would co-star in this video. On October 9, Manson also released a video for Say10 that also costarred Johnny; watch this one onYouTube. In an interview with Howard Stern, Marilyn remarked about the Say10 video: “I
don’t want to spoil any of the video but … he’s like the White King,
I’m sort of the Black King and I’m wearing latex. We wrestled, like we
fought each other like Cain and Abel, and I won. I’m gonna say I took
him.”

Site Announcement:

Photobucket,
my long-time photo storage site, has finally pulled the plug on
allowing links to other sites, despite my being a paid customer for
many years. As a result, most if not all of my thumbnails here on
Johnny Depp Rocks will result in many ads making the page difficult to load. I will
eventually cancel my Photobucket subscription. Meanwhile, I will slowly
be changing my links on this site so that they will once again be
workable. Please have patience, as this is likely going to take me
several months. Because Johnny Depp Rocks has so many individual pages,
most or all of the pages will continue to say "click images to enlarge"
even if the links to the enlarged photos do not work. I will post
in my Updates which pages have been updated as I go along. Thankfully,
most of the thumbnails will at least be visible, as they are stored at
my website host.

2011:Five
years ago, I published
my first few pages of Johnny Depp Rocks!
As a huge fan of Johnny Depp and also a longtime music
enthusiast
and collector, I had been investigating Johnny's musical background and
pursuits, but I grew frustrated when I saw so much false information on
the web and in print. I created this site as an attempt to
compile accurate information about Johnny's musical side: his
bands, live
performances, recordings, and videos, as well as his friends in the
world of music, and share it freely with all his fans. While
the
design may be plain, I hope that the information presented here is as
accurate and reliable as it can possibly be. Many thanks to
all
those who have offered feedback or contributed information to help this
site to thrive. I always welcome any corrections, additions, or
suggestions, and hope that this site will continue to grow whenever
there may be more to add! Hope you enjoy! -Cathy aka

Happy Tenth Anniversary to Johnny Depp Rocks!! Ten years ago,
when I started this site on my free Verizon web space, Johnny was
rarely performing publicly anymore (though Sweeney Todd had just been
announced so we had his vocal skills to look forward to). Who
could've predicted then that Johnny would reunite with The Kids, guest
on over a dozen studio albums and even more live shows, and go on tour
with the Hollywood Vampires?! It's been a great ten years, and
here's hoping for many more! Keep rockin', Johnny!!!I
am always grateful for corrections or additions to any of the content
on this site! I would particularly love any photos or other
memorabilia from any of Johnny's live performances, past or present.
Please contact me if you can help!
